P-T-P Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Okay, there's been some quite GAS enducing basses lately and as much as I love this bass, it's second fiddle to my other DJ5 so is there any interest in this? Lakland DJ5, Lake Placid Blue with factory fit pearl pickguard and pick-up cover (though I've taken the cover off since photos). [attachment=1761:DSC_0039.jpg] Has a great vintage tone to it, plays beautifully and looks amazing. [attachment=1762:DSC_0038.jpg] It cost me the best part of £800 to get it over here and would like to re-coup as much of that as possible if I sell. If I don't get any takers then I'm happy to keep it. Things I'm liking basswise in trade or part-ex terms are Warwick 4/5 (I, II possibly LX). Maybe some other things I'd consider, what have you got? Maybe something fretless if it's not too high in value (round the £300 mark). But then again, having written all this, there's a knot in my stomach about the idea of parting with this! Drop me a line with your offers/thoughts/ideas. Edited August 16, 2007 by P-T-P

Ian[/quote] Thanks, but none of those particularly grab me, though the Roadster might if there were pics.

Sibob Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Ah man, i'm really loving the look of these DJ's at the mo, a good friend of mine has just played with him, supporting Rolling Stones, which is cool! Hopefully i'll get to try one at the Bass Bash on the 18th! If only she was a 4 string! Good luck all! Si
P-T-P Posted August 15, 2007 Author Posted August 15, 2007 Just to answer a common question or two that has cropped up in PM's I've received... It is 35" scale length. The low B is epic. It sounds like a jazz bass on steroids, everything about it's tone is big. The lows are really tight and punchy, no flab at all and the upper mids and highs sing like the proverbial fat lady. There's no case with it as such. But I have a nce tribal planet GX-40 (think that's the right code) top of the range semi-rigid gig bag case that I could let go for an additional £35.
machinehead Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I've just sent you an email. That really is a most beautiful bass. Frank
machinehead Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 ooooppps. In that case, please ignore my last email Pete. Gawd, that sold quickly!! Frank
P-T-P Posted August 16, 2007 Author Posted August 16, 2007 Hi Frank, No worries. yeah, got a cash sale that was bang on the money, so to speak.
silverfoxnik Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 [quote name='P-T-P' post='46219' date='Aug 16 2007, 08:55 AM']Sold, pending the usual.[/quote] Thanks Pete for delivering this all the way to the SE Bash in Guildford yesterday - much appreciated and it was good to meet you! There was some time at the end of the day when only a few of us were left and I could listen to LukeWard and Ped play it and it sounded great. And I got home later and had some more time to play it and it's exactly what I wanted; beautiful, natural passive tones and it is a dream to play.. Thanks again.. Nik
